The government is on their trail. “Introduced” Machine Gun Charles “Pretty Boy” Floyd once zoomed out of Oklahoma from the region which was the stamping ground of Belle Starr and Matt and George Kimes, notorious ban- dits, and wrote his name larger than they by his depredations. He left behind him a trail of kill- ings . . . robbed banks . . . kid- inaped employes used as shields . spectacular escapes, one from a speeding train. He is reputed to have introduced the machine gun to prominence as the weapon of gangsterdom in his bank raids, cowing employes and clients with 1t, but relying on his revolvers for getting out of tight places. Hunted By Planes At least seven murders with six of the victims ‘policemen—were as- cribed to him. Often, it is alleged, he fired at the approach of police officers instead of “shooting it out” with them. When federal men fin- ally caught up with him he failed to fire a single shot. He was hunted by planes, posses, armored cars; high-powered rifles, machine guns and tear gas have hurled their barrages at him. He became a will-o'-the-wisp fugitive from justice . . . but federals fin- ally sprawled him out in Ohio. “I don't aim to let anybody take me alive,” he is reported to have said years before. He was a deadshot with the revolver, acquiring an uncanny skill with the trigger while hunt- ing for squirrels as a youngster. Jesse James also was a perfect marksman in his youth. And like Jesse James—Ilike Dillinger, too, whom the federal men got three months earlier—Floyd finally was blamed for almost every crime from which the perpetrator escap- ed, even if the crimes took place a thousand miles apart on the same day . .. First Big Game He was born in Georgia 30 years ago, but early was brought to Salli- saw, Okla., by his parents. Like the fathers of James and Dillin- ger, Floyd's father was ‘a hard- working farmer, but hard work did not @ppeal to the son.

Search on for Nelson “Tnheriting” his mantle is George “Baby Face” Nelson, the nation's new “Public Enemy No. 1,” whose real name is Lester M. Gillis. To this erstwhile Dillinger mobster has been ascribed the slaying of federal agent W. Carter Baum atf the Little Bohemia resort in Wis- consin last April . ‘and the G-men are keeping that in mind, if added incentive to get him alive or dead were needed. After the killing of Dillinger, “Baby Face” ed by government operatives az “Public Enemy No. 1,” but that doubly-dread title—to bearer and public alike—was snatched away from him temporarily by the in- terest in Floyd. It is thoughi by the department of justice that he has been “lying low,” despite re- that he has been part in robberies. Nelson’s recorded crime career began January, 1931, when he was arrested in Chicago on a charge of robbery and sentenced to serve from one year to life.
